CHRISTIANSTED — The Virgin Islands Waste Management Authority (VIWMA) Preserving Paradise team advises the community of the beginning of a week-long manhole rehabilitation project scheduled to begin on Monday, May 28, 2018 along the Catherine’s Rest Road.

Traffic within the project limits will be reduced to one lane for approximately 500 feet during the working hours of 7:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. The Authority advises the motoring public to drive with caution or consider the use of alternate routes near the impacted area.

Residents with respiratory difficulties are advised to avoid the area. Deodorization will be administered locally to minimize odor impact to residents.

The VIWMA Preserving Paradise Team continues to work diligently to provide reliable services and would like to thank the community for their patience and cooperation.

John F. McCarthy is a veteran journalist in the Caribbean, writing from the "Decision Space" where survival meets the surreal. His reporting steel was tempered by a lineage of legendary editors and broadcasters, including Ed Wynn Brant (The Bomb), Owen Eschenroder (Ann Arbor News), Lynelle Emanuel (BVI Beacon), and Charles Thanas (WSVI-TV). Alongside longtime colleague Kenneth C. "Casey" Clark, McCarthy has navigated the front lines of the territory’s history—from the 1997 volcanic "snow" to every major hurricane since Hugo. Known for leaning out of doorless helicopters to capture the "money shot," McCarthy now edits the V.I. Free Press, providing the essential link between the island's colonial past and its SpaceX future.
